SUMMARY:A security-aware container-based architecture for connected vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Cyberattack is a growing concern in connected vehicles because of the possibility of accessing\, changing\, or destroying sensitive information. On the other hand\, many existing security protocols are infeasible to apply because of high resource consumption. Containers are a method of providing added security through virtualization. Advantages of containers include increasing utilization of bare-metal resources\, and adding security isolation properties to various types of systems. These advantages make containers well-suited for the connected vehicle software. This paper describes a specific consideration in the development of a container architecture pattern for embedded systems\, aimed at enforcing multiple modes of application functionality.

SUMMARY:Fall Electronics session 2021
DESCRIPTION:Easy circuit to transmit and receive audio through an LED  We are using the 555 chip to make an oscillator (Osc). Our audio signal changes the frequency of the Osc.  This signal drives a transistor with Infrared LED collector load……..  We think any voltage controlled oscillator circuit will do. We think so  On the receiver side\, a photodiode converts this light back to current. Circuit then followed with an I-V converter (a simple resistor)…….  And rest is audio..It works  Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285740

SUMMARY:Surface Electromagnetics: Physics Exploration and Engineering Applications
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: From frequency selective surfaces to Huygens metasurfaces\, novel electromagnetic surfaces have been emerging in both scientific exploration and engineering applications. Many intriguing phenomena occur on these surfaces\, and novel devices and applications have been proposed accordingly\, which have created an exciting paradigm in electromagnetics\, the so-called “Surface Electromagnetics (SEM)”. This presentation will review the development of various electromagnetic surfaces\, as well as state-of-the-art concepts and designs. The fundamentals of SEM will be summarized and the frontier topics will be prospected\, including their promising applications in microwaves\, THz\, and optic regimes.

SUMMARY:Dielectric Materials for Generators and Large Motors
DESCRIPTION:The focus of this presentation is the fundamental aspects of electrical insulation materials\, specifically for rotating equipment – generators and large motors. This talk will cover basic components of an insulation system\, material selection criteria\, review of intrinsic properties as well as aging parameters. Major test methodologies and standards used in selecting and qualifying insulation systems will be discussed. It is intended that this presentation help the audience to understand the critical working aspects of electrical insulation materials. The “why” of dielectrics for their specific applications. This knowledge can aid in maintenance decision processes\, equipment repair decisions\, as well as educate those in the industry understand the tradeoffs in the dielectric materials selection process.

SUMMARY:IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Distinguished Lecture - Prof. Levent Sevgi
DESCRIPTION:EM diffraction is critical in many applications including antennas and propagation. Understanding and visualizing EM wave – object interaction is crucial in designing new antenna systems\, in predicting path losses through complex propagation paths\, etc. In order to do that wave pieces such as diffracted waves\, Fringe waves\, etc.\, should first be studied on canonical structures. Then\, complex objects can be investigated by using HFA as well as numerical methods in hybrid form intelligently.  EM wave scattering from waves – objects interaction has long been investigated. Interesting wave phenomena\, diffraction\, occur when objects have sharp edges and tips. Methods known as High Frequency Asymptotics\, such as Geometric optics (GO)\, Physical Optics\, (PO)\, Geometrical Theory of Diffraction\, (GTD)\, Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD)\, Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) and Theory of Edge Diffraction (TED) have been successfully applied to variety of EM problems. Recently\, numerical methods\, such as Finite Difference time Domain (FDTD)\, Method of Moments (MoM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) have also been used in modeling EM diffraction. These powerful methods\, together with novel approaches\, have shown to be successful not only in modeling EM diffraction but also in distinguishing wave pieces such as scattered waves\, diffracted waves\, Fringe waves\, etc.\, which is very important in visualizing and understanding complex wave – object interaction.  This talk will review all these approaches\, use recently developed EM virtual tools and present comparisons through canonical examples.
